I have also thought about cutting the polyester gingham on the bias since it won’t squish as readily as cotton for flattening it. I would love comments on if any of you see any pitfalls in my idea. Many heads make light work.
How about doing a test using about a yard long piece of straight cut gingham and poly batting. Then you can test the bias strip to see which one you think would do best. Make a mini coil of the straight cut one and add on the bias one to see how they work.
